(Carr)
I sailed out to sea with Figi Fandango
She looked so good to me with her hair up in tangles.
Figi never lived a life of royalty she had other dreams
Figi wanted freedom but she didn't need material things
Figi was so obstinate the good king Fandango nearly blew
He said to her "This monarchy has no place for the likes of you"
The king tried to take my love from me
He put her under lock and key
And set forth to the open sea
He could not take my life from me
So I became a stowaway
And when he slept we slipped away
We stole a dinghy from the king because he said he'd give her away
